I have some reasons to consider switching from github to gitlab for web3py (to be renamed) have to do with naming conflicts.
Any opinions? pros? cons?

H! Massimo,

I'am using web2py and a private gitlab for some time now in a project of my own. Technically both provide you the same features, more or less. But, we had some problems since the purchase of gitlab from google - i'm from Cuba, and  when the purchase took place gitlab (the site and repositories) got blocked by UUSS laws and we don't longer have access to it, I guess it's something to keep in mind since that's means that some web2py users will not have access to the code base.

github on the other hand allow us to keep accessing the public repositories. Is there a technical reason for the change ?

Gitlab blocks access from countries affected by UUSS sanction laws, I can't use gitlab from Cuba without tor or vpn.

Greetings.

I guess that's a deal breaker and we will keep using github.
The only reason is that on github there is a user with the name I created for the project and there would be some confusion.
